Its path through Congress

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do
H. Res. 1425 is a resolution to honor Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) for their service and sacrifice during Federal Government shutdowns. It highlights the financial strain put on TSOs who worked without pay during a partial shutdown from February 14, 2026, through April 30, 2026. The resolution notes that some officers had to forgo basic necessities or work second jobs due to these shutdowns. It describes the act of requiring employees to work without pay as unjust and immoral. The House of Representatives expresses solidarity with TSOs and TSA personnel. Finally, it commits to ending the withholding of compensation for TSA employees during shutdowns.
